2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 — The All-Purpose Full-Size Pickup
The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 remains the backbone of Chevy’s full-size pickup offerings, delivering versatility for work, family, and weekend adventures.
- Engines & Performance: Buyers can choose from four powertrains — a 2.7 L TurboMax I4 (310 hp / 430 lb-ft), a 5.3 L EcoTec3 V8 (355 hp / 383 lb-ft), a potent 6.2 L EcoTec3 V8 (420 hp / 460 lb-ft), or a 3.0 L Duramax turbo-diesel (305 hp / 495 lb-ft).
- Trim Levels: From the no-frills WT trim — ideal for work use — to the upscale LTZ, luxury High Country, and rugged off-road ZR2, the 2026 Silverado 1500 covers a broad spectrum of needs.
- Towing & Payload: Depending on configuration, you can tow up to 13,000+ pounds and haul a payload up to about 2,260 lb — making this Silverado a strong performer for towing trailers, boats or heavy loads.
- What’s New for 2026: A few updates to styling finishes, improved interior tech, and slightly refined safety calibrations. No major redesign this year — but the proven platform continues to deliver reliable strength.
Whether you need a dependable work truck, a powerful towing rig, or a comfortable full-size pickup for everyday driving — the 2026 Silverado 1500 can deliver.
2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV — All-Electric and Ready for Tomorrow
For customers interested in going all-electric without sacrificing capability, the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV offers a compelling new option.- Varied Trim Options: The lineup now includes Work Truck (WT), LT, and a new off-road–ready Trail Boss trim. The previous RST trim has been discontinued.
- Electric Range & Capability: Depending on battery and trim, range varies: Standard-range EV gives around 286 miles, Extended and Max-range versions reach up to roughly 478–493 miles (GM-estimated).
- Features & Off-Road Readiness: Silverado EV now offers off-board power up to 10.2 kW, a Multi-Flex Midgate (on LT and Trail Boss), plus “WOW mode” for maximum horsepower/torque — and the Trail Boss brings added off-road readiness with terrain-specific suspension, ground clearance and four-wheel steering for low-speed control.
If you’re looking to electrify your daily driver or tow gear without gasoline, Silverado EV presents a forward-looking, capable pickup for the modern driver.
2026 Chevrolet Colorado — Midsize Versatility with Real Capability
For those who want a more compact, city-friendly pickup that still packs a punch, the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado delivers a balanced midsize option with strong performance and off-road readiness.
- Engine & Power: All trims use a 2.7 L TurboMax engine with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. Despite its smaller size compared to Silverado, it still offers strong performance.
- Trim Lineup: Colorado comes in WT, LT, Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 trims — from basic, work-ready versions to off-road-ready configurations with lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, and advanced drive modes.
- Off-Road and Utility: For the off-road crowd, ZR2 and Trail Boss trims deliver with increased ground clearance, off-road suspension packages, and rugged styling. For those needing a midsize daily driver with truck capability, the LT or WT balances practicality with performance.
Colorado remains a great choice for customers who want Chevy toughness without committing to a full-size truck — ideal for daily commuting, light towing, or weekend adventures.
